We travel the country looking for tasty food on our adventures and always enjoy good BBQ. We were a little surprised when friends insisted that we try their favorite BBQ place in Fargo, North Dakota of all places. That hesitancy went away as soon as we entered Spitfire grill. The smell of smoking meat and rotisserie chicken cooking on the fire had us excited for lunch. We came during lunchtime so we had to wait 30 minutes for a table to open up for our large group. We noticed that everyone leaving was happy and weren't carrying to go boxes. Both good signs. Our group chose a variety of entrées. The raspberry Glazed ribs caught my attention and the numerous awards on the wall assured me that I was making a good choice. These ribs were moist and flavorful while being tender. I have my list of favorite bbq sauces and wasn't expecting too much from spitfire. The sauce is the star of the show here! After my first bite, their housemade Rasberry bbq sauce instantly became one of 3 favorite bbq sauces. Sorry Carolina Gold....make room for North Dakota Raspberry bbq. Pictures followed and a "thanks" to my friends who introduced me to my new favorite bbq place in the country. The service at Spitfire was above average. Our waiter Cameron kept our drinks full and brought out a replacement when one was accidentally spilled. The chicken fettuccine, we ordered didn't have very much chicken in it. We mentioned this to Cameron and he apologized and quickly brought out a side of rotisserie chicken. This is not common anymore. Way to go Spitfire for training employees in customer service.

I called in to order some of their brisket to-go. Whomever answered the phone was less than friendly - rude, actually. They then informed me that it would take 35 minutes to prepare the order. I got there approximately 20 minute after my call. The person that greeted me in person was also very rude (unsure if the same person. There were four standing around) I was fully prepared to wait. However, my order was already packaged, sitting on a shelf. It wasn't even hot. Leading me to believe it was prepared right away (which isn't surprising since they weren't busy. leads me to wonder where the heck a 35 minute wait came from). I was utterly shocked, and slightly disgusted, to see how the brisket looked. The size of the sides are deceiving. You think you're getting a decent amount until you open them and see that they're not filled. The brisket was incredibly dry - I would have needed more than one sauce cup to make the meat edible. The brisket with the two sides was a few cents shy of $30. For that price I would have preferred hot food, food that wasn't dried out, and food that actually looked appealing. My photo is how it looked right after pickup.

We haven't been to Spitfire for a long time. You know, so many restraunts so little time. We went for the birthday special, 10.00 off of meal. My wife ordered the Ribeye with added wood fired shrimp. The shrimp was perfect. But she ordered the steak medium, as ribeyes tend to be fattier, and need to be rendered out to bring out the flavor. The steak came medium rare, but she chose not to return it. This was the only problem with the meal. She loved garlic mashed potatoes, and the side salad was loaded with extras. I had the three meat pasta. It was like a spiced up Mac and cheese. It was good, the sauted red peppers and mushrooms made it for me. Though the sausage was a little spicy for me, it was andoullie, and it was called Diablo pasta. We had fantastic serve. Our waiter was patient, when we couldn't make a decision. He was very attentive, and made very sure we had a good experience. We will be back.

The first thing about this place is that smoke smell as soon as you step out of the car. The ambiance of the place is really neat with some unique decor. My waitress Maddie (sp?) was excellent from the start. Very jonny on the spot. The bread was okay, but really helped out with their honey butter. The garlic mashed potatoes are what you would expect, but their Spitfire beans are another story. Wow! Excellent flavor with brisket inside of it. How can you go wrong with that? The brisket itself was a bit dry, not a lot of smoke flavor. It comes with a vinegar based sauce that really helped it out, but after a while the sauce becomes too overpowering. The meal is a big portion. I fought the law and the law won. Overall a good experience, but not the best I have had brisket wise.
